I use an SPF face lotion every day but I don’t re-apply unless it’s summer and I’m spending lots of time outside

I just double checked ( I use Rhonda Allison hydration or Stratia) and neither have SPF. :(

It’s taken so long for me to find a good moisturizer that doesn’t contribute to my acne. So that’s a bummer it isn’t multi tasking

Bummer! I use Cerave with SPF and like it, though I don’t have a huge problem with acne so I can’t speak to that.

I also use Cera Ve with SPF and it's pretty good.

Ugh. I hear that. I have the worst skin and I have to stay on it, so to speak, to prevent breakouts, including keeping hydrated. My dermatologist recommened any mositurizer that was labeled noncomedogenic which doesn't block pores. Look for one that has the level of spf you want/need. Caerful, good stuff can be spendy.

I’ll check into that a bit. My Rhonda one is like $30? for 150ml. It has Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract and red clover for anti inflammatory which I guess is my issue ? Who knows

UV rays are weaker in winter, but are still present. If you care about preventing sun damage and visible aging, daily sunscreen is the absolute number one way. Check out Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery SPF 50 + / PA ++++ or Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel. I am super acne prone and I can wear these sunscreens daily and not break out. They also feel super light on the skin and don't make you look oily or leave a white cast. You can buy them in bulk sets to save money as well.

I also have horrible skin and spent years finding the perfect solution. Sunscreen and spf lotions tend to break me out or not mix with my makeup. Coola Makeup Setting Sunscreen Spray is the mist I mentioned in another comment

I also struggle with acne and constant oily skin. What I have found that helps is cerave hydrating lotion spf 30 matte finish. It moisturizes, protects, doesn't clog your pores, and it doesn't look like an oil pit on your face!! I love it.

Regarding your initial question, I have seen many dermatologists who state that no matter where you are you are always going to be receiving UV exposure. Inside or outside doesn't matter. I just use it in the morning and then on sunny days reapply in the afternoon.
